General Information

:

It consists of a hopper with tapered bottom, with a side slope of about 46 degrees. A circular disc having X sections is fitted on a vertical shaft below the fertilizer hopper and is rotated by a handle through gear arrangement. The gear ratio between the handle and the spreading disc is 1:8.4. A metered quantity of the fertilizer through adjustable opening falls on the disc, which spreads uniformly due to centrifugal force. Machine is mounted on the shoulders and is operated at a forward speed of about 2.0 km/h.
